One Emotion that Increases Non-Profit Donations - A Marketing Secret!

I've found the best program to lull me to sleep: Nova. The long-running PBS science series is slow, methodical, and rhythmic.
I happened on this revelation when I downloaded the PBS app on my iPad. With one tap, I could explore icy planets, desert fossils, or Arctic sinkholes without a login or donation.
I say donation because the Public Broadcasting Service is a non-profit. People like you and I pledge $120 yearly to keep programs like Nova on the air. (Do we say on the air anymore? Maybe, in the cloud?)
Individual donations make up about 30% of PBS's annual operating budget.
So, have I donated?
No. And a few weeks ago, I started wondering why not.
I'm the perfect candidate for an individual membership, as they call it. I have $120. I use the app daily. I've watched dozens of hours of programming.
Yet still, I couldn't be bothered to open my wallet.
It's not like the team at PBS hasn't tried. I'd estimate that about 60% of the app's content is locked until you become a member.
So, click on a locked episode, and they invite you to unlock it by making a donation.
Very logical.
Except logic isn't going to inspire me to donate.
PBS will have to punch me in the face with an emotional trigger before I contribute to their cause.
Not because I'm miserly. It's because I don't care. Yet. I'm happy to re-watch unlock content - after all, I sleep through most of it.
So, I went on a journey to figure out what emotion PBS could employ to get me out of bed, find my wallet, and enter those 16-digits.
And luckily for you, my not-for-profit marketer, I found the one emotion that can instantly increase donations or change consumer behavior.
So, this week on the #Loyalty Loop, we're taking a journey back to the 1920s to uncover the psychological marketing campaign that saved millions of lives using an unexpected emotion.
What's the emotion & how does it work?
P.S. Hey PBS, if you're watching, I expect an email from you using this simple emotional trigger to inspire me to become a member. I promise I'll go find my credit card.

How to Handwrite 12,000 Thank You Cards a Year (and How Much Time it Actually Takes.)
This week's Loyalty Loop is inspired by a CEO who writes 12,000 handwritten notes every year. How long does that take? Is there a more efficient way? What about your pathetic penmanship? I'll answer all those questions and introduce you to the one person who may believe in the power of the handwritten note more than me.

How to Land Your Dream Job Without a Resume (The Persistence Principle)
I despise resumes. Resumes don't spotlight our potential; they highlight our past. Resumes haven't always been that way.
